Replacement Blade for Chiron Automatic Corneal Shaper Blade
Device Story
Surgistar Microkeratome Blade is a replacement stainless steel blade for the Chiron Vision Automatic Corneal Shaper (ACS). The blade is designed to be mounted into the electrically driven oscillating head of the ACS instrument. During ophthalmic surgery, the surgeon uses the ACS to guide the blade across the cornea to perform lamellar resections. The device functions as a mechanical cutting tool; it does not involve electronic processing, software, or AI. It is intended for use by trained clinicians in a surgical setting.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence consists of comparative dimensional and sharpness measurements between the Surgistar blade and the predicate Chiron ACS blade to demonstrate physical equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Low carbon stainless steel. Form factor: Microkeratome blade with specific dimensions (length 0.445", width 0.313", thickness 0.010"). Operation: Mechanical cutting via electrically driven oscillating head. Sterilization: Gamma radiation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a replacement blade in the Chiron Vision Automatic Corneal Shaper Surgical Instrument (ACS) for patients undergoing surgery requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A keratome is an AC-powered or battery-powered device intended to shave tissue from sections of the cornea for a lamellar (partial thickness) transplant.

Dear Mr. Woodward:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations .
